Health-related quality life scores among adult tuberculosis patients in Kampala Uganda, 2007-2008. Whiskers are standard errors (SEs) whereas bars represent health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores for eleven subscales and two summary scores of the 35-item Medical Outcomes Survey (MOS) questionnaire; and HRQoL scores for the visual analogue scale (VAS) that was used to validate the MOS. The HRQoL scores were evaluated among patients starting, completing two months, and completing 8 months tuberculosis therapy. The eleven subscales of the MOS included general health perceptions, pain, quality of life, role function, social functioning, vitality (energy/fatigue), mental health, health distress, cognitive function, physical functioning, and health transition. The MOS summary scores included physical and mental health summary scores.
